"Cassandra Reilly is a footloose Irish-American based in London, currently in the midst of translating a magic realism novel about the search for a lost mother. When she gets an offer from a San Franciscan femme fatale to look for her husband in Barcelona, Cassandra can't resist, and she chases people of all genders in this high-spirited comic thriller."--Author's web page (http://www.barbarasjoholm.com/books/mysteries.html) viewed August 29, 2009.
